We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Denver in March is not as cold as in winter. The temperature throughout the day is around -5 to 10 degrees, with a large temperature difference.

This is basically the end of Denver's winter tourism peak season, and there are not too many tourists skiing, which makes it a good choice for ski enthusiasts.

The Luo family's ski estate in Vail is now more than just a small to medium-sized farm of 450 acres.

In the past two years, through the acquisition of farms around the city of Weir, the area under management has reached 10,000 acres.

In addition to Shaq and Thompson, four other employees were hired. These people are mainly responsible for the security work here and in the acquired farms.

Fortunately, the acquired farms can be connected into one piece, which makes them easier to manage.

Generally, Shaq and Thompson take turns, one here and the other responsible for managing the new farm.

The number of female employees increased significantly, and the first ones to serve the members of the Luo family.

Jenny became the housekeeper, and besides her there were eight other people including the cook and the maid.

Mary and Weliana, who were originally in charge of planting management, are now the leaders of a team of more than 30 people.

Now the new Green Farm not only grows some developed and cultivated fruit and vegetable seeds, but also cultivates organic crops.

There are so many livestock manure, flowers, etc. in southern Yunnan, which are important sources of raw materials for organic fertilizers. It would be a pity not to establish an organic fertilizer research institute.

As for Cuilv Farm, the most important thing now is to recuperate.

The United States has been heavily exposed to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on its land for hundreds of years. If these lands are not conditioned for several years, it will be difficult to remove the chemical components in the land with current technology.

"Jenny, prepare some more afternoon tea and dinner, as an important guest will be arriving later."

"Yes, sir."

Chris has already taken the two little ones back to Hong Kong Island. Even though Luo Anran is reluctant to go back, there is nothing she can do because school is about to start.

The beautiful Zhao on the phone was already getting anxious. She would probably fly here in person if she couldn't come home in the next two days.

As for Luo Nianzhong, he still has some important things to do in the United States, so it will probably take a while for him to return.

He came to Vail this time because the guest he was meeting was in Denver.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to darken, and then the sound of car horns was heard from the gate of the manor.

Luo Nianzhong personally came to the door of the villa to greet them. The first person to get out of the black car was the little cowboy, who gave Luo Nianzhong a warm hug after getting out of the car.

"Hey, my good brother, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

It was quite fast. It had been just over half a month since the last time the two watched a game in Houston.

"Welcome, George."

Don't get me wrong, Luo Nianzhong asked people to prepare in advance not for him, but for the old man who got off the car right after him.

This man was none other than his father, the old cowboy.

The old cowboy has been campaigning in Colorado, now the elephant's stronghold, these days. When Luo Nianzhong found out, he asked him to meet.

The elephant has already agreed to the issue of genetically modified seeds, and will push this matter forward with all its might once the old cowboy takes over.

This meeting was not just to talk about this matter, in fact Luo Nianzhong wanted to give the other party a super gift.

The unemployment rate in the United States has always been a problem, and the old cowboy’s failure to be re-elected was also an important factor.

How did President Trump solve this problem after he came to power? He proposed the information superhighway plan, which changed the economic trend of the United States for decades.

The development of the Internet today is not much different from when Zipperton was planning this, at least in terms of terminals.

But the line problem is the biggest constraint, and Luo Nianzhong must convince the old cowboy.

In addition to the faster Internet, another point is that this old guy is relatively pro-Rabbit. The longer he is in power, the better it will be for Luo Nianzhong.

"Welcome, Mr. George."

"Mr. Luo, although we have not met many times, we are old acquaintances. There is no need to be so polite."

The two of them don't meet very often. The last time they met was probably during the general election four years ago.

The old cowboy personally invited Luo Nianzhong, who was in the United States at the time, to attend the election success dinner, but Luo Nianzhong found reasons to refuse.

At that time, he no longer needed to expand his network like he had done eight years ago when Reagan was first elected. In the entire United States, there were not many congressmen who were indirectly or directly funded by the Luo family, but there were definitely quite a few.

Not to mention the elephant, many donkey-like members of parliament have also received favors from the Luo family in the past two years.

This is mutual. We don't ask you to cheer for the Luo family, but when you are needed, you must stand on the Luo family's side.

Knowing that the old cowboy was very busy and would be leaving by plane tonight, Luo Nianzhong told him the purpose of inviting him to a meeting after a brief reminiscence.

"I heard that Texas financial groups and the military-industrial complex have been very active in this election recently?"

The old cowboy didn't expect that the first sentence the other party said in the formal conversation would be this topic. He frowned slightly, not knowing what Luo Nianzhong wanted to express.

"middle East?"

One word made the old cowboy's face darken, and the little cowboy who had been laughing just now changed his face even more.

"Aren't you considering re-election? This is a radical move. The essence of waging war is to see who has more money. Those guys will never let this dispute end quickly."

"What do you want to say?" The old cowboy changed his sitting position and stared at the other person.

Without wars, how would the military-industrial complex find the next huge fortune?

Everyone knows that polar bears are dying.

In this case, it is certain that the United States will vigorously reduce its military spending and reduce funding.

However, there is a group of people who do not want to see this situation and they need a new battlefield.

This includes not only military industry, but also areas such as oil and food.

A single cannon shot is worth a ton of gold. As long as there is some noise in the Middle East, many industries will benefit.

This is not very difficult for the United States. Don't forget that many sources of goods and income in the Middle East are in the hands of the West. As long as the sanctions are tightened, they will have to do it even if they don't want to.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your plan and don't want to participate. I'm here to help you get re-elected."

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear what Mr. Luo has to say."

"Economy." Luo Nianzhong said a word that everyone understood.

Once the cannon is fired, the United States will have to pay out money continuously, and correspondingly, capital investment in other places will have to be tightened.

Medical care, education and other projects related to people's livelihood will be affected. The United States has also been on the road of large-scale debt since the old cowboy era.

"They should have promised you something, right?" When he said this, Luo Nianzhong's eyes always glanced at the little cowboy inadvertently, and the cowboy's father and son were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

Did you promise? Yes, you promised that you would do your best to help the little cowboy when he reached this point.

With two presidents in one family, the Cowboy Family will then become one of the top political families in the United States.

If there hadn't been this temptation, the old cowboy would never have taken the blame.

Once he opens this door, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

If one day the United States really gets ruined by too much debt, then this old cowboy will definitely be dragged out and whipped.

What the two did not expect was how Luo Nianzhong knew all this. It was as if he had personally experienced it. This was terrifying.

The military-industrial complex and the oil traders were so active in this election that many people could see that the big guns were about to go off, and this is the reward.

But only a few people knew about the plan of two presidents. From the look in Luo Nianzhong's eyes, the old cowboy could be sure that the other party knew about it.

"I told you I'm here to help you." Luo Nianzhong chuckled and poured coffee into their cups.

"I have a plan. If it succeeds, not only will the money from the cannons be used, but even the economy of the United States will develop rapidly.

Don’t you really disagree with Li Gen’s idea? This plan can make your resume more brilliant.”

He stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a plan from it and handed it to the old cowboy. Then he sat down and drank his tea quietly.

After taking the plan, the old cowboy glanced at Luo Nianzhong and opened it. The little cowboy also stood up and walked behind his father, intending to take a look at it together.

There is not much content in the plan and you can finish reading it in just ten minutes.

“So you have connections with Wall Street and the big tech companies?”

……

Woolworth Building, Manhattan.

This building, which was built in 1913 and held the title of the world's tallest building for 16 consecutive years, changed hands last year.

The buyers of this neo-Gothic-style building, which is famous all over the world, were Yuanhang Asset Management Company and Far East Real Estate.

The reason why the two companies jointly purchased the property was not for any other reason, but because the first floor of the building would be used for two purposes.

The Woolworth Building consists of a 57-story foundation and a -story tower, but only floors are usable, and its shape is very unique.

The building has always been owned by the Woolworth family, whose main industry is FW Woolworth & Co., a large chain of stores with stores all over the world.

However, since the 80s, Woolworth's has begun to decline, and last year's Black Monday caused heavy losses to the Woolworth family.

At the end of last year, after Far Eastern Asset Management Group and Far East Real Estate jointly came to the door and offered a good price, this iconic building in the beautiful country officially changed hands.

The thirty-story foundation building below the current Woolworth Building is owned by Far Eastern Asset Management Group. It is not only the North American headquarters of Far Eastern Asset Management Group, but also the headquarters of Far Eastern financial institutions such as Far Eastern Bank.

Far East Properties, which owns the top 30 floors, will convert them into luxury apartments based on Luo Nianzhong's proposal and will only rent them out, not sell them.

However, if it is sold, the current owner has the right of first refusal.

In the large office of the North American headquarters of Far Eastern Asset Management Group, the person sitting here at this moment can be said to control the economy of the United States to a certain extent.

The giants of Wall Street, the largest telecommunications operators in the United States, AT&T and Baby Bell, the symbol of the United States' technology industry, IBM, and CEOs of major software and hardware companies such as Microsoft and Motorola all gathered here.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Internet age has arrived, but it is only just beginning, and its future is far beyond your imagination.

Just think about it, in the future we can use a computer to complete e-government, distance education, telemedicine, electronic entertainment and many other tasks.

This is a huge market, a bottomless and unimaginable market, and all of our companies here will benefit from it."

For an hour, Luo Nianzhong spent an hour describing the beauty and future of the Internet to these elites who control the U.S. economy.

The purpose is simple, which is to get these companies to lobby the White House together with themselves.

Even though Luo Nianzhong has been promoting the development of the Internet, if the United States does not put its national strength into it, Luo Nianzhong alone will not be able to drive the global Internet boom.

Another point is that it is not the donkeys that are in power now, but the elephants are conservative.

Luo Nianzhong hopes to achieve the principle of "built by the people, enjoyed by the people and owned by the people" as in La Zipperton, where the government does not intervene directly but relies on private investment.

To achieve this goal, Wall Street must get involved. Only if they feel that there are huge benefits to be gained will they be willing to invest heavily.

Funding, communications, equipment, application systems and software, information, and talent are the most important points in the entire information superhighway plan.

Internet development is inseparable from Internet speed, and telecommunications operators are crucial. If you want to lay optical fiber throughout the United States, the cost will be calculated in billions.

Needless to say, because of the Far East Group, in this life, all the transmission, storage, processing, display and other equipment must be prepared three to five years in advance.

As for application systems and software, Microsoft has basically taken over the global system market with the promotion of IBM. And because of the early appearance of graphical interface, many office software have also been developed.

Information refers to content production, such as media and news, while talent is even simpler.

As long as there is a massive capital investment, communications and equipment can be rapidly improved, which will in turn give rise to a large number of software.

Corresponding information and talents will also increase, and this is a cycle.

Is it profitable? Of course.

There are no fools on Wall Street, and a huge new bubble for harvesting has already sprouted in their minds.

New industries represent new capital, and the involvement of capital means new leeks.

With the financial support of Wall Street, both communications and equipment companies dare to give it a try, and it is certain that there will not be enough equipment to sell.

So when the old cowboy asked Luo Nianzhong whether he had established connections with Wall Street and these large companies, Luo Nianzhong just smiled at him.

The elephant is at the top, but Congress is in the hands of the donkey, so there are two divisions now.

"what do you want?"

Smart, as long as the economy can pick up, they will benefit regardless of whether the elephants can get a share of the Internet pie.

Economic improvement means an increase in military spending. Whose pocket will this money end up in?

Luo Nianzhong could have easily bypassed the old cowboy and talked directly to the supporters behind the elephant, but he didn't do so. He just wanted to convey his message through the old cowboy.

It can be said to be selling a favor, or it can be considered as asking for benefits, because Luo Nianzhong can bring him huge benefits.

"I want you to give a pass on the Collingwood Grain Company acquisition".

Collingwood Grain Company is the largest grain company in Kansas, not only engaging in grain trading, but also processing and warehousing.

In Collingwood, Kansas alone, there are storage facilities for 4800 million bushels, which translates to about million tons.

Besides Kansas, it is the third-largest wheat merchant and the fourth-largest corn merchant in connected Oklahoma.

To the left of Kansas is Colorado, below it is Oklahoma, and further down past Texas is the estuary.

As long as he takes over Collingwood Grain Company, Luo Nianzhong can connect his crop empire in the United States to form a complete industrial chain from seeds to procurement and processing, from warehousing to transportation.

It can also make its own agricultural empire become one of the top ten or even top five food suppliers in the United States.

In Colorado, the farm area of ​​Pioneer Seeds and the Anschutz family has exceeded 20 hectares, and various supporting warehousing, processing and transportation facilities have also been established one after another.

Some of them were built with their own funds, while others were acquired through mergers with local grain companies.

In Texas, Pioneer Seed has developed extremely rapidly in the past two years. Don't forget that a lot of Pioneer Seed's shares are in the hands of the rednecks.

Therefore, it became crucial to completely open up this line, and Pioneer Seeds set its sights on Collingwood Grain Company as an excellent piece of the puzzle.

However, the acquisition has been stuck at the Kansas state government for a simple reason: ADM also has its eyes on this company.

However, ADM did not want to offer Pioneer Seed a higher price in terms of funds, so they mobilized their connections and started a dragging tactic, using the power of the government to drag down Pioneer Seed and force it to give up.

Because it has taken so long, even the Federal Trade Commission has become ambiguous about it.

In fact, this matter could be easily resolved if the Texas Consortium stepped in, but Luo Nianzhong rejected Redneck's request for more Pioneer Seed shares, so the other party naturally had no reason to contribute to this matter.

Given Luo Nianzhong's strong character throughout his life, if this road is blocked, why don't we try another one?
